Rumor Battered: Hollywood Poo-Poos on Apple's Movie Rental Plan

The briefly ballyhooed iTunes movie rental store did sound a bit too good to be true. While multiple sources confirm Apple's feeler, the flipside is that the movie studios aren't exactly smitten, according to Reuters. $2.99 for 30 days? Preposterous, sneers Hollywood. Easy portability to your iPod or iPhone? Poppycock. More »

Hands-On: Amazon Unbox On TiVo, Working Together for Movie Downloading Hijinks

The Amazon Unbox movie download system is now firmly linked up with the TiVo service, and if you have a TiVo Series 2 or Series 3 box, now you can download Amazon Unbox movies right into your Now Playing list just as if they were another TV show or movie.

AOL Sniffing Around Movie Downloads

You know the movie download market is heating up when AOL decides to get into the act. A tipster showed us this site where the ancient AOL walled garden for noobs is beta testing the downloads, offering such gems as Eight Crazy Nights, Can't Hardly Wait, Easy Rider, Flat Liners, and Muppets Take Manhattan.

Apple and Hollywood in a Stalemate So Far

Apple's Steve Jobs is negotiating personally with Hollywood studios, standing firm on a flat $9.99 price for all movies, according to Variety magazine. But that's holding up the deal, because movie studios want a tiered pricing scheme, giving them a $19.99 cap on movie prices, with older films going for $9.99. One studio executive close to the negotiations said,
"We can't be put in a position where we lose the ability to price our most popular content higher than less popular stuff," said a studio exec close to the negotiations."
Still undetermined also is the image resolution of the downloadable movies, where currently the iTunes Music Store video downloads are offered in a low-rez 320x240 resolution, suitable for iPods and portable devices but whose quality is vastly inferior to that of DVDs that consumers can rent from Netflix for Blockbuster for a fraction of $19.99. One thing's certain, and we're sure that Steve Jobs knows this: anyone who downloads a 320x240 movie for $19.99 is a fool. Even $9.99 is too high. More »
